Samsung outs Michael Jackson hard drive

For the Michael Jackson fan who has it all

Fans of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson can show off their devotion in an unlikely way by stumping up for a branded MJ-styled external hard drive from Samsung.

The S2 drive has 500GB of storage space under the lid, which is all good and well. But if you’re still trying to work out what possible link exists between the late pop superstar and a Korean hard drive, here it is: when it arrives, part of that half-a-terabyte storage on the S2 will already be claimed by your own copy of This Is It, the documentary revealing footage from the rehearsals for MJ’s ill-fated O2 Arena concerts of the same name.

This special edition S2’s shell is painted gold with Jackson’s silhouette taking centre stage like the commemorative This Is It album cover.

If to you, buying a branded hard drive is a sensible way to show your devotion to the former prince of pop music, you can get your special 500GB Samsung S2 Portable on February 22, the same day the documentary comes out on DVD and Blu-ray. There’s no confirmation as yet on a price.
